Following Yingxiang all the way, he returned to the kitchen, but this time the pile of tripe was gone. It seemed that Yao Shang had already washed them.
Yingxiang came to help wash the dishes. Wei San volunteered to grab a large pile of dishes from someone else and carried them over. Then he heard a fat woman standing next to him who was supervising the work sneer, "Oh, another large pile. I heard that you used to be the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You probably didn't expect that every time we had a big meal, we servants would have to wash and rinse the dishes, right?"
Wei San really wanted to throw a pile of bowls at the fat woman's head, but he held back.
Yingxiang didn't say anything either. She just squatted on the ground and washed the dishes silently without looking up.
The fat woman was still not giving up. "I heard that you were married before you married Old Man Jiang. Tell us, what are the differences between men?"
When she said this, there was laughter all around.
Yingxiang lowered her head even more.
Wei San secretly clenched his fists, but now was not a good time for him to take action.
Seeing Yingxiang didn't say anything, the fat woman became even more proud and pointed at Wei San and said, "You've been with two men before, so why not accompany him tonight? I think he's old and probably hasn't had the pleasure of being a concubine of a wealthy family!"
Not satisfied with what she said, she turned to Wei San and said, "Why don't you help her wash the dishes? If you help her, she will serve you well tonight!"
Everyone laughed.
But Wei San actually squatted opposite Yingxiang and helped her wash the dishes.
"What are you doing? Go away!" Yingxiang said in a low voice.
Although she didn't look up, Wei San could still see that the roots of her ears were red.
He didn't say anything, but helped her wash the dishes silently amid their laughter.
At first, people just watched the fun, but the manager suddenly came over and saw that they were not working, so he shouted, "Go to work! Do you want to eat? It's so busy up there, and you are still lazying around here!"
This time he actually liked Wei San because he took the initiative to work.
The crowd dispersed.
Wei San then whispered: "Yingxiang..."
This voice had experienced life and death and the vicissitudes of life. Yingxiang felt as if she were in another world. When she looked up again, she saw a bearded face. She was confused for a moment, but finally recognized those eyes.
"Si'an?" Yingxiang's eyes were full of disbelief.
Wei San didn't say anything because he was choking with sobs.
With sadness in their hearts, the two looked at each other for a long time, in silence...
The atmosphere was soon broken. Yao Shang, who was furious, suddenly rushed over and slapped Wei San on the back of the head.
"It's all your fault that you ruined my plan!"
Yao Shang was almost mad. If Wei San hadn't suddenly come over to talk to him, it would have been such a good opportunity. I'm afraid half of the guests would have died by now.
But even after talking to him, the two were asked to wash the tripe. Until the guests started to leave, Yao Shang still didn't find a chance to take action!
As soon as Wei San left, Yao Shang was forced to wash the tripe. His hands were almost sore after washing such a large pile. After he finished washing, the manager asked him to clean up the dirt again.
When he was cleaning, he didn't pay any attention and just dumped the waste next to the toilet. As a result, a manager of the toilet saw it and insisted on punishing him to clean the toilet!
Yao Shang had given him a poison that could kill someone instantly within a stick of incense. This poison was extremely powerful, but he had a natural nemesis: fear of cold.
The manager was not actually in charge of the toilet; he was just used to finding faults. His real job was to be in charge of the ice cellar.
After going to the toilet, he went back to work in the ice cellar.
There is a dish on the dinner table today that was requested by the Queen. It is a small pot with charcoal under it, and then the meat is put in to blanch.
But this is not just any meat, it has to be placed on ice and brought over, so the ice cellar is very busy today.
Yao Shangcai didn't clean the toilet. Seeing that the dishes were almost served, he went to the front hall and took a walk, thinking of an opportunity to cast a poison.
But there was no chance in the front hall. Seeing that the guests were starting to leave, Yao Shang realized that his plan had failed.
Of course he wanted to beat up Wei San to vent his anger, but Wei San was no pushover.
Although he was a scholar before, Wei San had also been working hard in recent years. Was he afraid of fighting? The two of them started fighting at that time.
Yingxiang looked anxious and her attempts to dissuade them were in vain. She watched the two men fight more and more fiercely. Fortunately, the manager came over.
When they were pulled apart, Yao Shang regretted that he should have put a curse on his grandson, but now it was too late...
The two men were each beaten with twenty sticks and then sent to a farm in the countryside.
Wei San was fine, as he was physically strong, and the twenty blows only caused minor injuries. But it was different for Yao Shang, as he was small, and the twenty blows almost cost him his life.
Just like that, Wei Sancai found Yingxiang and they separated again.
When they arrived at the country farm, Yao Shang was still unconscious. Wei San had the chance to leave, but he couldn't find Song Gui's wife without waking Yao Shang up, so he had to wait for Yao Shang to wake up.
But Yao Shang not only did not wake up, he also had a fever. Wei San had no choice but to remember the method he used on the mountain.
It was still spring, and the well water was icy cold at night. He drew more than ten buckets of water and soaked Yao Shang in it...
Yao Shang woke up and his fever subsided.
Wei San quietly took him and ran away from the village.
As soon as he regained his freedom, Wei San threatened Yao Shang, asking him to take him to find the girl he had taken away that day.
Yao Shang was not someone who would be threatened. He cursed and made a move, wanting to put a curse on him, but...
In the past, his poisonous insects seemed to understand his thoughts, but today was different. Not a single one of them moved.
He then remembered that he seemed to have woken up from the cold that day...
He had never felt so aggrieved in his life.
Especially Wei San wanted the Beidan Bamboo that he had worked so hard to find.
Before Yao Shang came to the capital, he had seen Bei Danzhu's portrait, and Bei Yanming was obsessed with finding this little daughter.
So he came here this time intending to look for Beidanzhu, but he didn't expect that he would actually run into it.
Strictly speaking, it was not Bei Danzhu that he encountered, but Song Gui's night fragrance car...
He was strolling around that day when he was suddenly spotted by a vicious dog and chased after him. When he was fleeing in panic, he collided with Song Gui's night-time carriage.
You can imagine how interesting the scene was. Even the dog chasing him gave up and turned around and ran away.
Although Yao Shang was very angry at that time, fortunately he saw Beidanzhu.
Although the girl was stunned, Yao Shang recognized her at a glance, so Song Gui wanted to take him home to take a bath, and he happily agreed.
What happened next was the scene that Wei San saw.
Thinking of the Northern Princess who was so hard to find, and his own empty-handed return this time, Yao Shang immediately rejected Wei San.
Wei San had a bad temper, so he kicked him on the butt immediately.
Yao Shang had only been beaten with twenty boards and there were still wounds on his buttocks. He cried out and nodded, holding back his tears.
